Drum Mix Essentials

About

Let’s begin by refining the drums - this will you help carve out the shell sound of your multitrack drum session. To remove any crosstalking issues, your tracks need to be cleaned up through dynamic expansion using the first stage of your Edelweiss`72. Aim for a threshold that will allow your target signal to be perfectly audible for best results.

Drum mixing is all about taming dynamics and the interplay between elements. Start by compressing your instrument tracks individually, limiting out overshoots and narrowing the amplitude. This will ensure that your groove is rock solid before moving onto the next step. Make use of the KH-COMP1 on both single tracks and on the drum bus to tighten and tidy your mix.

EQing is where you get to define the tone of every shell, overheads and room-mics. The VEQ-1P is the classic choice for defining a vintage drum sound on both single instrument tracks as well as on the bus. Sculpt that signal for some shiny highs, punchy mids and sweet bass. For a more surgical approach, try the Edelweiss`72 EQ section.

Features

• Authentic Circuit Emulation
• Black Rooster Audio's real time SPICE type component based circuit simulation approach allows to authentically capture the sound and feel of the analog counterpart in all nuances. All crucial parts of the original circuits including audio transformers, tube stages or passive filter networks have been faithfully modeled.
• SSE2 Optimized Code
• DSP operations are pipelined using the SSE2 instruction set. This ensures the highest possible performance operation despite very complex computations.
• Auto-Adjusted Oversampling for Maximum Audio Transparency
• Aliasing artifacts are efficiently attenuated using a low latency linear phase Dolph-Chebyshev poly-phase design. The oversampling is auto-adjusted to your session‘s sample rate to save valuable CPU power while offering the most transparent sound possible.
• HighDPI / Retina Support
• All their plug-Ins support high pixel density on Mac OSX and Windows to bring you the most enjoyable user experience on high DPI displays. Please refer to your manual to find whether your DAW is HighDPI capable if you‘re working on Windows.
